I'm sure I'm not the only 'Downer who's addicted to the quiz-site Sporcle (http://www.sporcle.com). But as there might still be some whose productivity has not yet been obliterated by it, I thought some links to a few of their Tolkien-themed quizzes might not be amiss. Some of my favourites are:
Tolkien's Kitchen (http://www.sporcle.com/games/BamaMuaddib/what-about-second-breakfast)
The Lord of the Rings Chapters (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Lady_Galadriel/lotrchapters)
Commonest Words in The Lord of the Rings (http://www.sporcle.com/games/THEJMAN/elrond-ranked-165-and-hobbit-was-167)
Commonest Words in The Hobbit (http://www.sporcle.com/games/MrChewypoo/there-and-back-again)
Lord of the Rings Top 50 Characters (http://www.sporcle.com/games/dolebanana/alllotr)
The Silmarillion Top 50 Characters (http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sforzando/the-silmarillion-top-50-mentioned-characters)

Middle-earth Characters by Mother (http://www.sporcle.com/games/lotr_fangirl/lord-of-the-rings-character-by-mother)
And if you'll excuse the shamelessness of it, a few I've contributed myself:
